Forged In Fire

Little did they know

When in desert pillar blazed

They’d be forged in fire.

Little did they know

When flames danced overhead

They’d be forged in fire. 

Little did they know

As brick foundations baked

They’d be forged in fire.

Little did we know

The landscape would change.

And we’d be forged in fire.

Little did we know

Churches would be on the pyre

And we’d be forged in fire.

Stir the embers

Fan the flame

We remain.

The Lord went in front of them in a pillar of cloud by day, to lead them along the way, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light, so that they might travel by day and by night. -Exodus 13:21

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them.—Acts 2:1-3

In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.-1 Peter 1:6-9
